Geraldine Fitzgerald was pregnant with her son Michael Lindsay-Hogg during the filming, which is why she has so many close-ups in the beginning but seems to disappear in the second half of the movie.
Illness caused director Edmund Goulding to be replaced for much of the film. Anatole Litvak shot approximately 26% of the film, William Keighley 4%, and 'Howard, William K. (I)' shot a few retakes. Goulding shot 70% of the picture around bouts of pneumonia.
Pregnancy caused Geraldine Fitzgerald to miss several shooting days. A double was used where possible.
